Baffle McBaffleson. Things that baffled me this weekend: They tore down a playground by my house to build a bank. I overheard someone outside the gas station saying that they hope “that nigger gets elected” and then mentioned TIVOing his eventual assassination. Yes, there was a Dale Earnhardt sticker on the back of his mud … Continue reading
If Sam Raimi’s long-awaited return to horror, Drag Me to Hell, is, as Rob Tapert classified it last December, “… a wild ride with all the chills and spills that Evil Dead delivered, without relying on the excessive violence of that film,” then I’m going to assume he plans on torturing the living Ash out … Continue reading
Reveals his next project, which is neither about Conan nor Dinosaurs.
It’s a strange and beautiful world. Somewhere out there is a guy who wanted to have the right atmosphere while he played old-school games. So he created three discs of ambient arcade sounds, bundled them onto CD-Rs, and is giving them to gamers. The fantastic Aquarius Records just listed Arcade Ambiance ’81, which (predictably, perhaps) … Continue reading
Tonight I’m going to The Crash Mansion. That’s not an exclusive club, or anything like that. It’s on S. Grand Ave. in LA, and should be a relatively quick commute.

We got our championship rings a week ago from winning the ISA Big Ten championships, which is kind of a big deal considering the amount of … Continue reading
I’m watching Captain America on a Spanish channel. This is like Rush Limbaugh’s nightmare come true.
1) The Renault “Le Car”. 2) The argument for Intelligent Design. 3) The Fucking Chair. Credit, and hatred, to A.J. Daulerio for bringing to my attention the existence of number three. And if you need me to warn you that a link listed as “The Fucking Chair” ain’t even close to being safe for work, … Continue reading
I just read that the writer’s strike is officially over. Congrats to those who got what they want. Condolences to those who didn’t. Hopefully there won’t be a repeat in five months when the SAG contract is up, but knowing how popular sequels and remakes are these days, I have my doubts.
So we got our tax refund this weekend, and my wife decided that she wanted a Blackberry Curve. I got a PS3, five games (Rainbow Six Vegas, Uncharted, Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty 4, and The Simpsons Game for my daughter) and three Blu-Ray discs out of it (CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, BLADE … Continue reading
